James Cracknell completes swim to Africa

James Cracknell has completed his massive Sport Relief challenge and made it to Africa. He travelled from the UK to Africa using his own power, covering 1,460 miles in 10 days by rowing, cycling and swimming. His aim was to show that Africa isn't as far from the UK as we often feel it is, as well as to raise as much money as he could for charity. He completed the 12 mile swim across the Straits of Gibraltar with David Walliams.
